Paul Re <<The only thing I have heard is that the standard benchmarks show comparable performance between a caino/Rambus Pentium III and a 440BX/SDRAM AT THE SAME FREQUENCY. Of course, at a HIGHER FREQUENCY, the Coppermine/Camino/Rambus outperforms a Coppermine/440BX/SDRAM at a slower clock frequency.>>

So Rambus is a bust and will not be a selling point. AMD made a good choice for staying away from it for now, correct?

What HIGHER FREQUENCY? The CPU? Or the FSB? Or something else?
